USCA4 Appeal: 25-6901 Doc: 11 Filed: 01/29/2026 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM: Weldon Eugene Holtzclaw, Jr., appeals the district court’s order accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation and summarily dismissing Holtzclaw’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint for failure to state a claim. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Holtzclaw’s pending “motion to appeal,” and we affirm the district court’s order. Holtzclaw v. Bryson, No. 6:25-cv-09351-DCC (D.S.C. Oct. 7, 2025). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
